The stock market finished the week with a decline Friday as the financial health of the consumer came into focus after a government report showed the weakest growth in personal spending in 17 months. Investors felt some relief after the government said a closely followed inflation gauge tied to consumer spending rose only 0. With so-called core inflation back within the Fed’s target of 1% to 2%, it could be easier for the central bank to justify further interest rate cuts without fear of driving up prices by adding too much money to the economy. Trading was fairly muted after days of volatility that sent stocks sharply higher early in the week and sharply lower near the end. Perhaps most watched will be Friday’s Labor Department report on payrolls, which economists on average estimate fell by about 50,000 in March after a 63,000 drop in February. read more

Early Monday, JPMorgan increased its original bid for Bear to about $10 a share from $2 a share. This time last week, financial shares were plunging in value after fears the credit crunch had rendered the fifth largest investment bank on Wall Street near worthless and on fears that no end was in sight for the housing crisis. Further, the Fed’s $30 billion in financing associated with the transaction has been amended so that JPMorgan Chase will bear the first $1 billion of any losses associated with the Bear Stearns assets being financed and the Fed will fund the remaining $29 billion. The Fed-backed JPMorgan buyout offer for Bear jump-started a tumultuous week for financial stocks last week, with earnings reports from three major Wall Street banks eventually helping drive the larger markets higher for the week. read more
